But there are hosts of club. games to come, to say nothing of the Barbarians' tour, before the season dies. Why not use the balance of these games for experiments in restraining the destructive activities of back-row forwards, and in finding a practical solution to the hooking problem?

ENGLAND TO PLAY INDIA

Probably the finest match in the international hockey tournament will be held on the Royal Navy ground at King's Park to-day, when England will meet India in the semi-final, the winner to meet Portugal in the final on Sunday at 4 p.m., on the Club ground.

Both teams are very strongly re- presented and while England were fully extended against Scotland in the first round, they gave an excel- lent impressioni and stand a good by chance

upset of causing an eliminating India, who were far from satisfying in their first round clash against China.

Following are to-day's teams: England.-Pte. Osman (R.A.O.C.); V. C. Blond (Club) and L/Bdr. Carter (B.A.); Bdr. Dilnot (RA), Li, Hook (R.A.) and E. Fowler (C.B.A.); S. A. Fowler (Club), E. R. A. Gemmel (Navy), G, H, Fowler (C.B.A.), Bdr. Marshall (R.A.) and L/Cpl. Dunne (Middlesex).
